Stakes races: 509 mounts, 18% wins, $2.13 ROI


Not only has he produced a 5.5% profit from 2,438 mounts -- but he's produced a profit throughout every single major class category.

By the way, Leparoux is just about as bad as it gets among major big-name jockeys in Dirt Routes.

Julian Leparoux:
Overall: 1,629 mounts, 18% wins, $1.45 ROI
Maiden races: 432 mounts, 18% wins, $1.76 ROI
Claiming races: 406 mounts, 24% wins, $1.59 ROI
Allowance races: 388 mounts, 13% wins, $1.06 ROI
Stakes races: 337 mounts, 13% wins, $1.28 ROI

He's passive as hell and he rides front-end horses poorly. He loses at about double the takeout, in dirt routes, over the course of his career.


He probably can't throw a baseball as well as Espinoza either, as you can see in this Youtube clip from about a month ago...
